Things here are slowly settling, but there are still shortages of crazy things like flour and sugar. People have certainly surprised me in their selfishness since this happened. But there are a lot of good people too and for that I'm truly grateful.Leannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623420015695351280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722898771124083282.post-41452471812416451282020-04-02T15:29:25.966+08:002020-04-02T15:29:25.966+08:00It's the simple things really isn't it Jen...It's the simple things really isn't it Jennifer?
